- 06/16/2012 - Andrew York Lineman Rodeo
The lineman rodeo is a showcase for power linemen and apprentices who come to compete for bragging rights and coveted silver belt buckles in team and apprentice events. Safety is as important as speed in determining the winners.
In addition to the spotlight on skills, the memorial event has provided nearly $21,500 for scholarships for high school seniors active in preventing drug and alcohol abuse. The rodeo honors Chelan County PUD journeyman lineman Andrew York who died in 2000 from injuries suffered on the job when he was hit by a drunken driver. - 05/21/2012 - "Hot Coffee"
Documentary Film: 'Hot Coffee'
Seinfeld mocked it. Letterman ranked it in his top ten list. And more than fifteen years later, it's infamy continues. Everyone knows the McDonald's coffee case. it has been routinely cited as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of America's legal system, but is that a fair rendition of the facts? Hot Coffee reveals what really happened to Stella Liebeck, the Albuquerque woman who spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonald's, while exploring how and why the case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort and to what end. After seeing this film, you will decide who really profited from spilling hot coffee.
Panel Discussion featuring local trial attorneys and a speaker from the Washington Association of Justice. Questions from the audience are welcome.
